Man, I really, really hate to jump on a "DC is clueless" bandwagon, but they sure don't make that easy. That said, the only shock I have is that Hawkman and Deathstroke rode it out as long as they did. A side note: I'm officially on record as hating the $3.99 price point, but as I keep shedding DC titles, it's making it more affordable to dip into the Marvel pool of titles. I guess I'd rather pay $3.99 for something good than $1.99-$2.99 for what basically amounts to dreck.

Oh, don't sit there and pretend that DC won't replace those books with six crappier books.

Sadly, I expect Lee will bring him down like he does most of the writers he works with.

Writing for DC Comics is pretty much a waste of talent when it comes to writers like Justin Jordan and Michael Alan Nelson. Unfortunately, they pretty much have to write for them because it's the best way for them to get their names out there in an industry whose customer base clings heavily to the familiarity of two companies, rather than actually sample the wealth of riches in the market.

The witness said Mr Brown then called out to Ms Hay's adult daughter: "Look at this, I'm tittie-f***ing your mother!".

They make it that easy to jump on the hatewagon.

I'm honestly not surprised. The pool of talent within DC is to blame for this and the only people you can blame are at the top. This is the biggest issue with DC they've burned too many bridges and now it's slowly coming to roost. You can only go to a well that has dried up or old talent and think they'll sell books.

He's written a bunch for BOOM. Only ever read Fall of Cthulhu, it was pretty fun.
